The Expanse

Anyone else looking forward to this? First book will be great TV, I have high hopes for this season(and only this season, if you've read the books you'll probably agree).

When does it premiere?

I like Thomas Jane. I hope he can carry this show.

I dunno, looked okay in the trailer, but I always found him a bit stiff in Hung. Fucking puns.

Yes, Ascension was a big step up for SyFy, but still not great, so we'll see if they shit the bed on this or not.

Getting my hopes up for a good sci-fi show just makes me want to watch Farscape again. That cool or sad?

12 monkeys is really good so far, defiance season 2 was good

air date set, Dec 14th. I think the same weekend Star Wars opens? Damn son this is gonna be fucking nerd christmas. Also the Arthur C. Clarke alien invasion miniseries, Childhood's End (shows will be back to back)
Expanse and Childhood Ends Premier Dates on SyFy

I had no idea they're making a Childhood's End tv series. Hope they don't fuck it up. Oh wait (spoilers about the book ahead)

Also, where's the thread for it, I can't find it.

Well, for a TV adaptation like Childhood's End, it helps to have an "everyman" act as the main focal point. Plus when Clarke wrote the original book, the UN was more prestigious ;p People today would be more along the lines of "lol UN sux" "lol, UN would offer stern warning to overlords and do nothing!"

Episode one is avail online via syfy, 2 weeks early.

Thanks for the heads up, been waiting to see this!

That... was pretty awesome. Definitely in for at least the second episode.

That was very impressive...It felt broad in scope yet grounded via the different perspectives.

Damn, that was actually really good.

Really looked good. I didn't get any of the SyFy cheese from it. The special effects looked good, the equipment looked legit and not normal SyFy low-quality shit, acting was good. Really liked the cast so far.

Is this available on demand or only online?

Online only, but this includes SyFy Now which is available on the usual devices as an app.
